Hey Studio emailed this morning to tell me about a new project they just completed for Intermón Oxfam:

“The aim was to renew the image of Oxfam and create an emotional link between the association and its young target. To create a more visual language, the letters are converted into illustrations, which increases the signification of words and create a own graphical personality, direct and reinvidicative. Titles are reduced to one single word to communicate quicker and more directly. The all identity is based on one single black colour printed on different colour papers, to facilitate the production and lower costs.”

Madrid-based illustrator Gabriel Moreno has some strikingly beautiful work in his portfolio. Really gorgeous imagery. I absolutely love the illustration above which you could purchase from a recent exhibition of his work here.

Emil Kozak emailed this morning to inform me he has updated with a full new shop of merchandise imbued with his unique sense of style. There are some really great t-shirts and hoodies (even some socks) up for grabs. They look like they are very high quality as well. Emil is one of those designers who just continues to inspire and impress me. I absolutely love his work. Show some support and pick yourself up some new gear.

Well, the last and final big design news of the day is that Alex Trochut has once again updated his portfolio with exceptional design and typography work. I highly doubt I will be neither the first or last to mention this to you this week.

Spanish designer Mar Hernandez, who sometimes goes by Malota, is a bit of a renaissance man (apparently Malota is a girl). She has numerous projects on her website ranging from motion, graphic design, illustration and art. She’s a talented young woman and no doubt lucky to be in the beautiful city of Valencia.

04/12 ZIMMERMAN FACES MURDER In a case we’ve been following closely there is finally what we think is some good news to report. George ZImmerman, the man accused of killing the innocent teenager Trayvon Martin has been taken into custody and charged with second degree murder. At last there is some justice.

12/16 HITCHENS DIES Outspoken author and pundit Christopher Hitchens passed away yesterday at the age of 62 after succombing to a long battle with cancer. His honest and bravado opinion that rarely favored one side versus the other but was instead often a cry for ‘reason’ will be missed.

11/23 BURZYNKSI CLINIC Is there an alternative, non-toxic treatment for cancer? Dr. Stanislaw R. Burzynski seems to think so and has been experiencing higher rate of success than the current accepted practice of treating cancer.
